A Different Corner - a fantasy football podcast

GW 33:Oh, the heartache of FPL

Whilst the overall points of gameweek 33 in the FPL were excellent for both Dr Luman Ali and Manish, the pair are commiserating their real life teams' results at the weekend. We discuss whether we should put a fork in Man City's 4-peat pie (it's done!), Cole Palmer for Player of the Year and who the best finishers in the league are right now. We also look ahead to gameweek 34 in Fantasy Football; which the 'meh' double teams are, the difficulty in using a wildcard, and which players with just a single game might be best investing in.

GW 31/32: Upgrading to FPL biniz class

Lots to discuss after FPL gameweek's 31 and 32, from Dr Luman's exasperation at his beloved Liverpool's missed chances against Man Utd to a strange analogy which sees him hypothetically sat next to Hollywood bombshell Heather Graham! We also discuss how all Haaland owners have "royally messed up" this season and the differentials making a difference.

GW 30: A premature FPL knee slide

There are lots of questions left to answer in the title race but there are even more coming out of this FPL gameweek. What is Newcastle Utd? How does Man Utd's goal live such a charmed life? Is Eddie How the new Jose? Dr Luman and Manish discuss it all, though Luman does have an answer to whether Erling Haaland is a flat track bully!

GW 29: The FPL gameweek that echoes in eternity

It was the worst average gameweek score in FPL history! Even so, Dr Luman shows us why he's playing Moneyball! He and Manish dissect his astute Fulham signing, an obscure season for low scoring defenders and goalkeepers, and the opportunity in GW34 with 7 doubles!

GW 28: An FPL kick in the chest!

Groan! Gameweek 28 was awful (unless you're that guy who captained Son away at Villa!). In this episode Dr Luman and Manish chat through their season's lowest FPL scores, reminisce over Henry, question whether Haaland is a flat track bully and Luman points at the elephant in the room of how the title will be decided! The kingmakers are...

GW 26: We back to FPL baby!

Like those comedy skits that weirdly interjected Hip Hop records in the early 2000's, Dr Luman and Manish are finally back after a prolonged intermission to the podcast. They discuss Gameweek 26, where they talk West Ham's key man (not Bowen), Arsenal fans' "crappy analysis" and whether you're better off without Haaland!

Gameweek 17: The FPL Bengali James Bond

Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 17, where things go from bad to worse for Manish, we question whether Saka in FPL terms is worth the money and we play a game of Who's Your Man? 

Gameweek 16: The FPL celebration police

Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 16, where we talk Salah, laugh at Man Utd and talk about our favourite goal celebrations (not John McGinn's!).

Gameweek 14: The Kop erupts for FPL

Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 14. We discuss missing out on Watkins points (d'oh!), horrible goalkeepers,  Liverpool in a title race (?) and the reason we think Man City are struggling.

Gameweek 10: If the FPL team ain’t broken

Dr Luman and Manish discuss Gameweek 10. All of our previous talk about questioning Haaland goes in the bin, Luman goes wild (to his detriment) and Mbeumo being back in the pot of mid-price midfielder points.
